• The residential areas and businesses located across Valley Avenue and <br /> Bernal Avenue, respectively, means walk -in traffic to these uses thereby <br /> reducing City wide trips in this area. The development allowed by this <br /> modification is consistent with the development pattern of the area. <br /> • Accesses to Bernal Avenue and Valley Avenue are located in a manner that <br /> maintains the existing traffic roundabouts, which is consistent with City <br /> standards, and which provides adequate development access and <br /> emergency vehicle access. <br /> • All construction activities are limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., <br /> Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. All <br /> construction equipment must meet Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) <br /> noise standards and shall be equipped with muffling devices. <br /> Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. <br /> 3. Whether the proposed development plan modification is compatible with <br /> the natural, topographic features of the site: <br /> • The site is flat and will accommodate the proposed development with <br /> standard City practices for drainage flows and stormwater runoff treatment. <br /> • The site is designed to drain to on -site vegetative swales designed to pretreat <br /> stormwater runoff. <br /> Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. <br /> 4. Whether grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan <br /> modification takes into account environmental characteristics and is <br /> designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, <br /> slides, or flooding, and to have as minimal an effect upon the environment <br /> as possible. <br /> • The site is relatively flat. Grading will be limited to maintaining the present <br /> north to south drainage pattern so that storm water will drain naturally through <br /> on -site vegetative swales and then to the City's stormwater detention/ <br /> treatment ponds. <br /> • The proposed grading is comparable to the grading plan of the previously <br /> approve office development. <br /> • Requirements of the California Building Code implemented by the City at the <br /> Building Permit review will ensure that building foundations and private <br /> street /on -site parking /driveway areas are constructed on satisfactorily <br /> compacted fill. <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
